TWO ROBBED OUTSIDE MOBILE HOME

A man and a woman said they were robbed at gunpoint outside a Bluffton home Saturday night, according to the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office. Just before midnight Saturday, Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the Shady Glen mobile home park in response to a reported armed robbery occurring moments earlier, reports said. Deputies met the victims, an 18-year-old female and a 24-year-old male. The female told officers she was walking her friend out to say goodbye when a green vehicle pulled up in front of her home.

Two men, one armed with a shotgun, got out of the vehicle and approached the victims, demanding money. The victims complied, emptying their pockets. After taking an undisclosed amount of cash and a cell phone, the suspects got back in the vehicle and fled the scene, leaving both victims unharmed, authorities said.

The victims were able to provide only limited descriptors of their attackers. Both suspects were described as black men, between the ages of 20-35. One was described as approximately 6-feet and 180 pounds, and 5-feet-five and 150 pounds. The vehicle was described as being possibly a green Infiniti of unknown model or license plate number.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Beaufort County Dispatch Center at 524-2777.
